Good morning, Shocker Nation. Getting swept by Vanderbilt in the opening match could have ended the weekend, but the Shockers ran it all the way back, knocking off Arkansas State 4-1 and then beating the top-seeded Commodores 4-2 in the championship to win the Bulldog Classic.

Wichita State trailed 2-1 in the final before taking three straight, including a 258-157 rout in game five. Sara Duque Jimenez earned Tournament MVP honors after leading the entire field with a 228.20 average and a high game of 279. The Shockers head to the McKendree Bearcat Invitational on Nov. 13-15.

🏐 Sweet Revenge
🎾 A Fall to Build On
🌾 And much, much more!

🔼 Battle In Lake Tahoe. Michael Gray Jr. buried five threes on his way to 18 points, William Berg posted his second straight double-double with 17 and 11, and Jordan Frison added 17 with six assists as Wichita State went the distance with No. 21 USC before falling 93-86 in the Lake Tahoe Classic. The Shockers led 45-43 at the break after building an 11-point first-half cushion, shot 48.1 percent on the night, and got 43 points from the bench. Frison’s layup pulled them within two with 5:43 left and a Giles jumper made it a three-point game inside of 3:30, but the Trojans hit their free throws down the stretch. Wichita State hosts Friends on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

🔼 A Fall to Build On. Wichita State men’s tennis’ Pablo Roche Alcaya and Rodrigo Cruz dropped their Round of 16 match to East Tennessee State to close out the ITA Conference Masters, and getting there was an incredible achievement. The fifth-seeded Shockers made program history this fall by winning the doubles title at the American Individual Championships, which earned them the trip to Rome. They rallied from a set down in the Round of 32 to beat Southern’s Byng brothers before bowing out. Attention now turns to the spring.

🔼 Sweet Revenge. A week after North Texas handled them in Wichita, the Shockers went into Denton and returned the favor with a 3-0 sweep, piling up 37 kills, six aces, and eight blocks to stay alive in the American Conference Tournament race. Set two was the turning point; down three, Wichita State ripped off seven straight to steal it 25-21. Sunday at UTSA didn’t go the same way, with the Roadrunners taking two 26-24 sets to win 3-1 despite 12 kills from Danielle Moore and 18 digs from Gabi Maas.
